Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous — a 12-step recovery program for people with food issues and addictions — is hosting a free public information session on Jan. 10 in Calgary.

The session will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Peter Lougheed Hospital (3500 — 26th Ave NE Calgary) and will address food issues such as overeating, binge eating, bulimia, and anorexia as well as other food addictions in general.

The information session on Sunday is open to everyone, including concerned loved ones or health care professionals.

Speakers from California with long term recovery will be sharing their personal stories.

The Food Addicts group operates on the same anonymity principal as Alcoholics Anonymous. Free meetings are held three times per week in Calgary.
